    Make sure you set your boot priority to your optical drive first in your BIOS

    Thank's for the reply,It boots from usb(cd drive) but when it starts it says BOOTMGR is missing.The hard drive is clean so do I need to install XP or is it in the restore disk? If I need to install the OS should I use XP,XP pro or Vista?

    Thank's for the help,the problem was the external drive I was using doesn't support DVD,the restore disc is DVD,once I used the right drive everything worked OK.
